Kolek planning to go pro
Seems a little odd that yesterday he tweeted this:But, who knows how quickly things can change. That said, guess I'll be slightly skeptical until it is officially announced.
Welp...that didn't last long: http://www.gomarquette.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/073014aab.htmlStill--makes me wonder what happened between his tweet yesterday and today.
He'll have a pro career. My not be an NBA career, but he will play and get paid to do so. Like Vander before him, I think we will continue to see more and more of this. Instead of going to class, following rules, etc. when everyone knows a huge percentage of these guys are only there to play basketball, they can instead go play basketball, and get paid to do it. Is that degree worth something down the road? Sure, but I completely get these decisions (assuming they're voluntary). They don't want to go to school, they want to play ball. Go ahead and get the degree later if you want.
Guess it depends who "we" referred to in that tweet. Seems like his decision was made (or made for him) and nothing changed.

Color me shocked that he's in good academic standing. Given goodman's tweet saying mayo would have next to no playing time, I'm Taking solace in the fact that This is proof that wojo isn't going to do what buzz did and just play crapty players because they were seniors
Have any players who voluntarily quit school and gone D-League ever made the NBA?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
